The Dose, Episode 5: The Truth About Waiting to See a Doctor in Canada

eAlert

When Americans talk about the Canadian health system, they often bring up wait times. But how long do Canadians really have to wait to get care?

This week on The Dose, host Shanoor Seervai talks to Christopher Hayes, the chief medical information officer at a health care research organization in Canada, about wait times and more. Hayes describes how, despite being neighbors, the U.S. and Canada take dramatically different approaches to health care. Join us as we untangle what this means for people on both sides of the border when they go to the doctor.

The Dose will get you up to date on the latest research, personal stories about health care and the health system, and innovations that could make life easier for patients, family, and caregivers.
